Flamboyant preacher Prophet Passion Java has confirmed that his 10 year marriage to Ethiopian beauty Lily Tsegaye has now been officially dissolved.
Its second time unlucky for the preacher who divorced first wife Yasmin in 2015 shortly after meeting Lily. The two got married at a coulurful cenremony in Jamaica in 2016.
There was initialy speculation last year after followers noticed Lily had wiped her Instagram account and removed any pictures of Java from her timeline.
Java has now publicly acknowledged the matter, posting on his Facebook page; “this moment serves to inform our partners, spiritual children, and all well-meaning Christians around the world that Lily and I have officially dissolved our marriage.”
No reasons were given for the divorce with Java saying “this decision was not made lightly, but with maturity, understanding, and peace. Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain friends and committed partners in raising our three beautiful children.”
“We are both fully involved in their lives and Will continue to co-parent with love, respect, and unity. Family remains a priority to me. Divorce does not change my responsibility or dedication as a father.
“Our children will continue to receive the presence, support, and guidance they deserve from both parents. We are also deeply committed to the callings God has placed upon our lives.
“This new season allows us to walk in those callings with clarity and purpose, while maintaining peace and mutual respect. I ask for your understanding and prayers as we move forward in grace, faith, and friendship.”
Meanwhile Lily Java also released her own statement;
“After prayer, counsel, and much reflection, I want to formally acknowledge that my marriage has been legally dissolved for some time.
“This season has brought significant change for both of us. While our covenant as husband and wife has ended, our shared responsibility as parents remains.
“Our three sons continue to be our highest priority, and we are committed to raising them with stability, love, and intentional care.
“I want to make it clear that our lives, callings, and ministries now move forward separately. We are no longer connected in marriage, leadership, or vision. Each of us is pursuing the individual path and assignment God has entrusted to us.
‘This decision was not made casually. It was made with sobriety, clarity, and conviction. Choosing peace does not mean endorsing the past; it means choosing wisdom for the future.
“As we continue into new chapters, we ask for understanding, discretion, and prayer. We also kindly ask that our names, callings, and journeys be respected as distinct and separate.
“My focus remains forward — on healing, growth, our children, and fulfilling God’s purpose individually. Thank you for your prayers and for allowing space for grace as we both move ahead.”
